Investigate the crash of Eastern Airlines Flight 980 on Jan 1, 1985; because, of lack of diligence by the NTSB.

Created by S.G. on July 13, 2015

On January 1st, 1985 at approximately 8:38 p.m., and Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 Flight 980 piloted by Captain Larry Campbell on a routine flight from Asuncion, Paraguay, to La Paz, Bolivia crashed into the Andes Mountains outside La Paz, Bolivia John F. Kennedy International Airport. All twenty-nine souls on board were killed. What might have transpired in the final moments between the pilots' acknowledgment of a descent clearance to 18,000 feet in preparation for landing at La Paz and the jet's devastating impact with Mt. Illimani? The black box was never recovered, and a thorough investigation was never conducted to answer this question. It is the deepest desire of the families of the lost to have some closure about what really happened.
